FANTASY BASEBALL

{"percentChange":5.2,"averageDraftPosition":260,"positionRank":15,"playerRater7DAY":1.6,"percentOwned":30,"playerRaterSEASON":0,"seasonOutlook":{"date":"Tue Feb 20","seasonId":2018,"outlook":"Barnhart was expected to serve as Cincinnati's backup catcher in 2017, but he was ultimately forced into the starting role when it was determined that Devin Mesoraco would open the season on the disabled list. As the injury bug continued to torment Mesoraco, Barnhart wound up playing in a career-high 121 games, starting 105 of them. The 27-year-old backstop didn't miss a beat as he stepped into a starting role, hitting a respectable .270/.347/.403 with seven homers and 44 RBI. He also claimed his first Gold Glove award, establishing himself as a top-tier defensive catcher. Barnhart's strong play prompted the Reds to reward him with a four-year, $16 million contract extension in September, and he was also named the team's primary catcher heading into 2018. Still, even if Barnhart sees the lion's share of playing time next season, his lack of power -- driven by a 47.6 percent career ground ball rate -- limits his fantasy value.
